My hugo quadpod came already assembled. How do I adjust the height? Do I have to remove the screw in the bottom of the quad?Can't seem to move the cane to different notches by pressing in on the button.

There is a notched ring at the bottom of the top section which must be turned to loosen, then pressing the button and twisting the bottom section slightly will cause the button to hide so that the bottom section can now be shifted up or down to the desired height. (You might want the help of a second person to push the button while you twist). When that is achieved, twist the bottom section back so that the button will now fall into the corresponding hole. Now, re-tighten the ring at the bottom of the top section and you're all set. Enjoy your walking partner!!!

There are 10 adjustments (for the length) on my cane. I am 5' 11" and I use the 4th setting from the shortest length of the cane. I would say get it, if it does not work for you, send it back. I really like the cane in terms of durability and use. Good luck

Depends on what you want. Hugo Quadpod is larger and more stable than a tripod tip. Also the Quadpod can stand up on its own better than a tripod. And I like the fact that the Quadpod can be "picked up" when it falls down by stepping lightly on the Quadpod tip. Stepping on the tip when the cane is horizontal on the floor causes the cane to rise and you can grab the handle. (picture the way a horizontal rake snaps up and hits the hapless farmer who steps on the teeth. This is why I step GENTLY on the tripod tip when the cane in horizontal). It's a handy feature for those of us who can't bend down and fetch the cane. I don't know if tripod tips can do this.

Not sure what you're asking but I think the Hugo Ultra Stable for left or right hand is so stable I can't think that the extra piece would make it better. Try it just as it is and I think you will find it the most stable of the quad canes.

I was baffled too when my first attempt to adjust it was made (largely because I refused to refer to the manual.) It turned out to be the easiest mower I've ever had to adjust. Standing behind the mower, looking towards the front, there is an orange lever on the right that when squeezed will produce an upward height adjustment. To get it lowered again or to find the preferred height setting, while squeezing the aforementioned lever, apply pressure by hand at the front of it. That's all there is to it; good luck!

Notice the hex cap in the middle. that is a small wrench to adjust tension on the leg locking devises. I had one leg that was still a little loose and that wrench fixed it up just fine. Just pull it off the leg to use it. It has the added advantage of probably breaking if you try to over tighten the nut. I did have a problem with the swivel head. The portrait/landscape swivel bracket's knob to lock it tight allowed to still wiggle slightly no matter how hard the knob was tightened down. Talked to Lee at customer service and he sent me a new head immediately. Didn't even ask for the old head back. Excellent response, but I haven't received it yet to see if it had the same problem or not. It looks like a good product for the price but I wouldn't want to carry it very far. Good luck with it, Dan

I just bought this item and, after a couple hours of trying, wasn't able to fit it onto my Hugo folding cane. It's hard to describe, but the elastic that enables this cane to fold has a plastic tip attached to it (which is underneath the large rubber tip on most canes) and this plastic tip will not fit properly into the "Qhadpod" tip. Anyway, if you haven't already purchased this item don't. It seems like it will work perfectly on non-folding canes though and is a really great idea.

I haven't used the tripod tip. All that I can say is that I happened to grab a regular cane to go out to get my paper and the difference between the Hugo tip and a regular tip is that the Hugo is much more stable. Those are the only ones that I have used. It is smaller than some of the ones that I have seen. It depends on how much extra stability you need.

I purchased the Hugo tip and love it. My cane is now a stand alone and fairly stable. Have had it fall a couple of times but it was my fault for both the tips.

I'm afraid it's not designed to do what you're asking it to do. To obtain the tripod effect you have to open the chair, and that reduces the height considerably. I believe you're better off locating a cane with a wide circular foot that provides stability for walking.

Yes! The Hugo mobility Derby cane comes with the Hugo Mobility 731-001 Ultra-grip Cane Tip with Bell Design, which is also 3/4 Inch. You should be able to change the tip to the 3/4 Inch Hugo Mobility Quadpod Ultra Stable Cane Tip.

Hello D. Reyes,To adjust the height, you have to loosen the mounting brackets. Once you find your desired height, you'll tighten the bracket again. Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

It may fit onto a wooden cane if the diameter of the cane is 3/4 of an inch. However, the description says it fits "most aluminum canes of 3/4"..." Tightening the QuadPod onto a wooden cane might cause damage to the wood, whereas it can't damage the metal. You might try asking in the part of the description on the web page that says, "Anything we missed?" You could ask if it can be used with wood canes.

I was able to get it down to where I could put two screws in and the just taped the other end. Like William, I recently purchased a case and had to go back to the original legs so it would fit in the case. Not a problem now since I feel a little more comfortable with flying/landing and making sure the GoPro is facing forward and not down.

Thanks TJ for your question as I was looking at the ez2 canes I do not see that you would have any problems for you to be able to attach a Hugo Quadpod to your cane, However the hugo will not fit any hurrycane because there is an imbellish flare in their design that would exceed the 3/4 suggestion. I hope this helps you my friend in your quest.

The height adjustment works via a screw jack. It is inside a tubular housing that bolts through the bottom left and right support plates and the top left and right support arms. What looks like a pull cord in the illustration is actually the crank handle that operates the screw jack hanging from the hook at the bottom of the screw jack. The handle has a eyelet in the top to engage the screw jack hook when adjusting the height and is removed after the adjustment is made.

The length of this cane is adjusted by twisting (turning) the lower sections of the cane. I have had about four differ ones over the years and some are marked with arrows to show which way to twist to unlock it and in the unlocked position you can push or pull the sections in or out to adjust the length and then twist the lower section in the other direction to lock it in place. When it is extended to a normal length for walking it may be very tight and require a good deal of effort to unlock. Anytime you are locking it after adjusting for a normal walking length you must tighten it very tight or it might collapse if you put your weight (or downward pressure) on it. How much you can shorten it I am not sure as I have never needed it collapsed all the way to it shortest length. The key is to look for those markings painted on the cane showing which way to twist to unlock.
